HED: Reaction to 49ers drama, Seahawks future & Steelers Add Rodgers + Ramsey | Richard Sherman & Darius SlayDEK: Richard Sherman and Darius Slay kick off the new season of The Richard Sherman Show with a no-filter breakdown of what’s happening across the NFL. From the Pittsburgh Steelers’ aggressive offseason moves — adding Aaron Rodgers and trading for Jalen Ramsey — to the San Francisco 49ers’ latest contract drama with Jauan Jennings, and the Seattle Seahawks' rookie getting guaranteed deals, no team is off-limits. Slay reveals why he chose Pittsburgh, what it’s like to reunite with his former DC, and how veteran leadership can transform a franchise. Then the guys go league-wide: breaking down Sauce Gardner’s massive payday, wide receiver and cornerback rankings, and why A.J. Brown might be the most disrespected WR in the league. They also sound off on Tyreek Hill’s unreal 10.1 sprint time, react to Teddy Bridgewater’s controversial high school suspension, and give a big salute to Ndamukong Suh as he retires from the NFL.

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” and “Go Low” to break down Scottie Scheffler’s win at the Open Championship! They begin by comparing Scheffler to Tiger Woods and Colin argues that if they played in the same era, Scottie would be Mickelson and not Tiger (3:30). They dissect Scottie’s rant from earlier in the week about not being fulfilled by winning and explain why he’s more about the process rather than the result (7:00). They discuss why Scheffler isn’t comfortable with the celebrity that comes with his #1 status vs. Bryson DeChambeau who seeks the spotlight (11:30). They debate whether we’ve officially entered the “Scheffler” era of golf and whether other top golfers like Rory McIlroy and Dechambeau can elevate to match him (19:30).  They break down the economics of modern golf vs. earlier eras and why golfers will age better than in prior eras (23:00).  They pivot to football and discuss the rumors that Nick Saban may return to coaching but why it will be the NFL, and debate the best potential landing spots for Saban (31:30. They also examine the SEC quarterback landscape and Arch Manning’s prospects(36:00).  The move to the WNBA players making their  CBA negotiation a public dispute with their t-shirts and debate whether the players have the leverage to demand a raise (42:00).  They discuss the pairing of FOX Sports and Barstool, why the partnership makes perfect sense, and why FOX needs to let Barstool be Barstool (1:01:00).  Finally, they discuss the cancellation of Late Night with Stephen Colbert and why the injection of partisan politics into media has been bad for content and the country (1:14:00).

Colin gives his reaction to the announcement that CBS will be ending The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He looks back at the history of the show, and why the defining moment of Colbert’s time with the show was when he “stepped on the bit” with his political opinion during a segment with Jon Stewart over Covid. He points to viewers' changing habits and the injection of partisan politics into late night as the two reasons that late night shows are a dying breed.
